Come on number 3 you little beauty!

Why are there ones in there from ex-MPs? Do they not remove them when they leave office?

“Twyford Phil Depleted Uranium (Prohibition) Bill”
The great Labour hope really knows what is on NZers minds and goes right to it with a solution.

Why did I only notice that now?

No 20 sue kedgeley.
hope it goes all the way.

Boscawen’s bill +1
Kedgeley’s bill +1 (for selfish, personal reasons)
Great ideas from opposite ends of the spectrum!

Let us hope that Nicky Wagner’s, “Family Proceedings (Paternity Orders and Parentage Tests) Amendment Bill” gets drawn.
It is outrageous that men are currently forced to pay child support for a child that is not their own.

Kedgeley’s bill +1 (for selfish, personal reasons)
If you’re actually a farmer then I dig, man.

Does anyone else think Hone Harawira is a bit of a chump for intending to enter a bill in the ballot that breaches the confidence and supply agreement between the Maori Party and National?
February 10th, 2010 at 3:27 pm
I’ll wager:
a) it didn’t even cross his mind that he was breaching the agreement
b) he didn’t consult anyone in his party or the government

Electoral (Entrenchment of Māori Representation) Amendment Bill should be renamed to:
Entrenchment of narrow and Racist representation amendment bill

What a waste of time most of those bills are. Just goes to show how our political system is full of people with agendas pushing their own little barrows, instead of trying to work for the betterment of this country.
